Does the knife have to be a sole authorship?...I am not set up to heat treat..but I can make the knife otherwise.
If someone can heat treat it for me, then I am in.
there are a large number of makers who send blafes out for heat threating ot have blanks cut on a waterjet, etc. and that shouldn't exclude someone in my opinion, anymore than not smelting the steel, growing the trees for the scales on your own land or raising or hunting the critter that you skin and tan the hide from to make the sheath.
of course, IF you can do all that, you get some knife god bonus points!![]()
sweet!
can we get up to 20 this time?![]()
My arms are hurting just thinking about testing all these knives
But it's a good hurting![]()
Tony, that would be the chopper thread...BUT, I bet you get a blister or two.![]()
I'll dance.![]()
I'm in. Long time hobbyist, sold a few here and there to support the habit. Sole authorship from raw steel to sheath. I'd just like to see how my stuff stands up against the pros.
Your mustache really looks like your avatar Mario. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
